Mean annual recharge in the Danube-Tisza sand plateau region of Hungary over the 2000–2008 period was estimated at a 1-km spatial resolution as the difference of mean annual precipitation (P) and evapotranspiration (ET). The ET rates were derived from linear transformations of the MODIS daytime land surface temperature (Ts) values with the help of ancillary atmospheric data (air temperature, hu...

Alburnus sava, new species, is described from the Kolpa River. The Kolpa is a tributary of the Sava, a major tributary of the Danube River, in the Black Sea basin. Alburnus sava is distinguished from its congeners in the Danube drainage, A. mento and A. sarmaticus, by having 23-27, usually 24-26, gill rakers; the ventral keel usually completely covered by scales (scaleless part maximum 15% of t...

The Water Framework Directive of the European Union requires member states to achieve good ecological status of all water bodies. A harmonized pan-European assessment of water resources availability and quality, as affected by various management options, is necessary for a successful implementation of European environmental legislation. In this context, we developed a methodology to predict sur...

The subject of this study is an approximately 300 km long Middle Danube River reach that spans from river kilometer (rkm) 1581 in Hungary to 1255 Serbia. observed drying floodplains some thirty years ago initiated the hydrological studies. However, problems related navigation route maintenance and those water supply irrigation drainage canal networks are now present whole free-flowing middle re...
